Impact of non-linear numerical methods on localization algorithm

Abstract

Localization is hot research topic in the area of WSNs. Many proposals have come in this area to develop an efficient, accurate, scalable and feasible algorithm. Distance-Vector (DV-Hop) is one standout amongst the most prominent algorithms due to its advantages, but it has still low accuracy. To improve accuracy of DV-Hop algorithm, the improvement has been proposed which combines a non-linear numerical method with DV-Hop. This improvement achieves better accuracy as it uses non-linear method for non-linear localization algorithm.
